10.3. EAR connection
The audio output of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is balanced, this is helpful to double the
level and to reject common mode (click and pop are common mode and therefore rejected);
furthermore the output stage is class-D, so it can manage directly a loudspeaker with electrical
impedance of at least 8Ohm. This stage is powered by switching from Vbatt to gnd at a
frequency ranging from 0.6 to 2MHz, so it has a good efficiency and thus a big power budget
0.7W; being a class-D architecture, please use some caution (see the NOTE below).
NOTE:
When the loudspeaker is connected with a long cable, an L-C filter is recommended.
When the EAR+/- are feeding some electronic circuitry, an R-C filter is recommended.
TIP: in order to get the maximum audio level at a given output voltage level (dBspl/Vrms),
the following breaking through procedure can be used. Have the loudspeaker as close as you
can to the listener (this simplify also the echo cancelling); choose the loudspeaker with the
higher sensitivity (dBspl per W); choose loudspeakers with the impedance close to the limit
(ex: 16 or 8 Ohm), in order to feed more power inside the transducer (it increases the W/Vrms
ratio). If this were not enough, an external amplifier should be used.
WARNING:
The audio output hardware of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is based on a Class-D amplifier
so any singled-end output configuration MUST NOT BE USED, otherwise the presence of
GSM buzzing and low level audio performance will result.
